About the Primavera P6 Professional Advanced course

Oracle Primavera P6 Professional is project planning and scheduling software used on large infrastructure, power, oil and gas, and building projects. Planning engineers and project controls teams use it to build schedules, assign resources, track progress and report performance to management. Once the basics are in place, the advanced features are what make P6 useful on big, multi-project portfolios.

This 20-hour Advanced course is for learners who already know how to create projects, WBS, activities, relationships and baselines. It focuses on resource levelling to remove over-allocation, earned value analysis with measures such as SPI and CPI, and handling large schedules through global change, activity codes and user-defined fields. You also work with multiple baselines and variance analysis, multiple float paths and schedule options useful in delay analysis, custom layouts, reports and dashboards, and data exchange with Excel and XER files. The training is built around exercises on a realistic project schedule, in the classroom at CADD Training Centres or in live online classes that working planners can join from site or office.

These skills are expected of senior planning engineers, project schedulers, project controls engineers and cost controllers. If you are new to P6, take Primavera P6 Fundamentals before joining this course.

You will be able to

  • Level resources and resolve over-allocation across activities and projects
  • Use earned value measures to report schedule and cost performance
  • Apply global change, user-defined fields and activity codes to large schedules
  • Manage multiple baselines and analyse variance against each one
  • Work with multiple float paths and schedule options for delay analysis
  • Build custom layouts, reports and dashboards for management reviews
  • Import and export schedules with Excel and XER files

Who it is for

  • Engineers who have completed Primavera P6 Fundamentals
  • Planning and scheduling engineers handling large projects
  • Project controls and cost control professionals
  • Project managers who review schedules and progress reports

What you need

  • Primavera P6 Fundamentals or equivalent working experience
  • Good working knowledge of Excel
  • A Windows PC for live online classes
